Frontin Post

Election Day 2

25 September 2022
The Frontin Post has slept a long time, too long. It took an election kiss to wake him up. This morning I went to vote in Trichiana and I lined up, apparently it was not an original idea. Hurray. Identical walk as three years ago (first countryside vote), different season, in so many ways. Let’s wait and see. For sure, […]

Houses’s and cats’ stories

11 September 2019
I’m not very original, I love cats. Always, since childhood. The first cat, the first love, was called Anush, which means sweet in Armenian. Sweet, Anush was sweet, in her own way, certainly she was extraordinary intelligent. It took many decades before Minerva arrived. She spent her first two years of life in the small flat in Milan, then moved […]

Mountain People

14 August 2019
Manuela Da Cortà, a passionate oriental architecture scholar with whom I had the opportunity to collaborate with my sister and brother, sent me a video that tells another family adventure: her sister’s Sandra project, accompanied by her brother’s Andrea music. Mountain people, this is the title of the permanent and constantly evolving exhibition that opens on August 16 in Pozzale […]

Garden to Table

Since you can’t just live on apricots, many have ended up in the […]

20 July 2019
Traditionally the month of roses is May, but here at the foot of the Dolomites everything arrives later. I only have one rosebush, which I am very fond of because I have always seen it in front of the house, since I was a child. I knew it was ancient, but I also discovered that it is rather rare and […]

Weeds

17 July 2019
I spent a whole day trying to free my lawn from an invasion of plantain. Plantain is not a weed at all, on the contrary, it is very good to eat, both in salads and cooked, better if with other spontaneous varieties. However, when it starts to multiply in a garden, a delimited space that has little or nothing wild, […]

Election Day

13 June 2019
A few weeks ago, on May 26, I had my first Election Day since I moved to Frontin. I walked to the polling station: quite a difference from my milanese and metropolitan experience. Images tell the story better than I could. p.s. Friends pointed out Election Day’s stamp and asked if I’m living in a different time zone. I didn’t […]
